TYLER – The Street and Stormwater Department is preparing to begin improvements on Old Bascom Road. The road will be closed Friday, May 22, and is anticipated to reopen Thursday, June 25.
Message boards will be placed at the intersections of Old Omen Road and Old Bascom Road, as well as Kent Drive and Old Bascom Road, to alert drivers to the upcoming closure.
The project includes replacing two collapsing tin culverts under the road with new prefabricated concrete box culverts. Crews will also make road repairs in the area. The entire road will be closed during construction.
The following roads and intersections will be impacted:
*Old Bascom Road – Entire road closed during construction
*Old Omen Road & Old Bascom Road intersection
*Kent Drive & Old Bascom Road intersection
Drivers can expect delays in these areas and are encouraged to use alternate routes. Message boards, barricades, and closure signs will be placed throughout the project area.
